The proliferation of former Liverpool players in the punditry business is downright odd. As analysts go, they range from the thoroughly dour and old-school likes of Dean Saunders and Ronnie Whelan to the occasionally insightful and earnest likes of Graeme Souness, to the hopelessly anodyne likes of Cockney clothes-horse, Jamie Redknapp. This is to...
That Swansea defeat hurt a lot - everything about it.
To see such a talented team play with such a lack of belief and creativity was tough to take, especially when their chances of title glory were still alive.
